I Honestly Tried Olive Young’s Diet Snacks

An Honest Taste Test of Olive Young's Diet Snacks

🛍 Unbiased Review of Low-Calorie, High-Protein Snacks

Brought to you by YEPPURIKO.

🎯 Struggling to choose snacks while dieting?

You want to enjoy snacks even while dieting, but you don't know what to choose.

For those who feel this way, Olive Young's diet snacks can be an unexpected option.

Olive Young is known as the holy grail of Korean beauty, but it also has an extensive selection of low-calorie, high-protein snacks and diet foods.

This time, based on products purchased with our own money by the YEPPURIKO editorial team (the Korean equivalent of “내돈내산”), we'll share our honest opinions on their taste, texture, and value for money.

🎯 What criteria did we use to select the products?

The products we tried this time fall into two broad categories.

“Diet snacks and treats” and “protein snacks.”

We focused on two simple points when choosing them: low calories and high protein.

When a snack is satisfying yet low in guilt, you can enjoy snack time even while dieting.

At Olive Young stores, nutritional information and calorie counts are displayed on the product packaging, so you can compare products and choose right there.

🎯 What They Were Actually Like After Trying Them

To be honest, my expectations were not particularly high.

That was because I had the preconceived notion that “diet food = bad taste.”

In the end, there were significant differences depending on the product.

Some made me feel like “I’m glad I bought this” and “I’ll buy it again,” while others were more like “Once was enough.”

Protein Snack Category

Many of them have a satisfying texture, making them convenient as a snack to tide you over when you get a little hungry. I found that they were relatively filling and made it easier to naturally control the amount of snacking (individual results may vary).

Diet Snack Category

The sweetness and flavor seemed more likely to be a matter of personal preference. If you are trying them for the first time, starting with a small-size product or individually packaged snacks makes it easier to see whether they suit your tastes.

💡 Frequently Asked Question: How Many Calories Are in Olive Young’s Diet Snacks?

It varies by product. Many protein snacks tend to contain around 100–200 kcal per bag, but be sure to check the packaging of each product or the official app for the exact calorie count.

🎯 What to Know When Buying Them in Korea or Through Korean Online Shops

Most products can be purchased either in Olive Young stores or through the online shop.

If you stop by while traveling to Korea, you can save even more if your visit coincides with a promotional sale.

When using a Korean online shop, checking in advance whether they ship to Japan and how much the shipping fee is will help ensure a smooth purchase.

Some products may also be available in Japan, but they tend to be more expensive compared with local prices.

✨ Summary: Olive Young Diet Snack Checklist

☑ Keep your selection criteria simple by focusing on two factors: “low-calorie” and “high-protein”
